Join us in our commitment to sustainability and social impact by participating in Nisolo’s Shoe Reclamation Program.
Help us combat the excessive landfill waste created by fast fashion by sending us your worn and used shoes.
Our Impact So Far
Did you know that 95% of the clothing and shoes we wear can be recycled or reused, yet 85% ends up in landfills?
Since the launch of our product reclamation program, we have collected and diverted 7,052 pairs of used shoes from landfills, averaging approximately 2,350 pairs per year.
100% of these shoes have been donated to Soles4Souls, a Nashville based organization that distributes donated items to various programs around the world to help individuals and communities in need.

Your Questions, Answered:
Impact
WHAT IS SOLES4SOULS (S4S)?
Soles4Souls is a Nashville based non-profit whose mission is to create sustainable jobs and provide relief through the distribution of shoes and clothing around the world.
How does sending in my used shoes create positive social impact?
We give your used shoes to S4S who then distributes them to micro-enterprise programsin underserved communities inHaiti, Nicaragua, the Philippines, Moldova and other countries in Africa (video). The micro-enterprise participants clean and recondition the shoes to sell locally. These programs provide employment opportunities to people who would like to start their own shoe business but lack the capital to do so, and is an affordable source of shoes for the underserved local population. Shoes in very poor condition are sent to recyclers.
How does sending my used shoes reduce my impact on the environment?
When sent to a landfill, shoes can take decades to decompose. When you send us your used shoes you extend the product’s life and create additional income for micro-entrepreneurs inunderserved communities.
WHAT ABOUT CLOTHING DONATIONS?
We recommend you send your gently used clothing to people you know and/or to organizations you trust. Try to never throw them out in the garbage, even if they are beyond use. Most Goodwill and Salvation Army donation sites participate in textile recycling, which converts your used clothing into things like insulation.
IS MY DONATION TAX DEDUCTIBLE?
